Disguised Toast Canceled Controversy Explained

Early this month, a Twitter user going by the name of Hope posted a long thread of tweets. This thread was meant to call out Twitch and Facebook Gaming streamer Disguised Toast for his “problematic” behavior. Much of the tweets posted by Hope cite Toast as being “racist” and a supporter of sexual assault. Sometime after, the series of tweets and the poster have gone private on Twitter after the controversy sparked a heated debate in the content creation community.

Getting “canceled” is a real possibility for anyone that chooses to make their personality public via the internet. The idea of “canceling” is meant to call people out for problematic behavior such as racism or homophobia, but cancel culture is often criticized because it aims at tearing a person down rather than helping them be better in the future. When it comes to Disguised Toast’s situation, content creators like Valkyrae and xQc are largely split on the issue and how Toast responded to it.

Why Did Disguised Toast Get “Canceled?”

Disguised Toast Canceled Controversy Explained

Though the tweets from Hope attempting to get Toast “canceled” online are not currently visible, they can be summed up in a few main points. Firstly, there are multiple accusations from Hope calling Disguised Toast “racist” on the account of both obscure comments he’s made and a specific instance where he read off an intentionally and knowingly offensive joke to get a laugh out of an opponent during a Don’t Laugh Challenge.

Otherwise, Hope also claims evidence for Disguised Toast’s support of pedophilia, sexual assault, and the use of racial slurs. Among Toast’s community, it’s a common thought that his sense of humor is crass and sometimes inappropriate, and Toast himself knows this and does this intentionally. But it’s the knowledge of his own satirical sense of humor that led to his prompt response on the matter.

How Did Disguised Toast Respond?

Overall, Disguised Toast’s multiple responses to the issue were understanding. In one instance, he responded directly to the thread, thanking Hope for bringing the issues with his sense of humor to light. Toast felt that it was a “well-balanced take” of why some people might find his jokes uncomfortable or offensive. However, others felt that Hope didn’t deserve an apology, “because they’re just looking for attention,” some Disguised Toast fans say.

In a livestream, the Facebook Gaming creator explained that he feels both his “stans” and “anti-stans” are getting too aggressive over the controversy before getting somewhat emotional. Toast choked up a bit when explaining that everyone comes from different backgrounds and has different points of view, therefore resulting in different opinions on what humor is considered offensive. But, at the end of the day, he says, “we’re just trying our best.”

Other streamers, such as Twitch streamer Ludwig Ahgren, had similar viewpoints, though he didn’t agree with the idea of apologizing to users like Hope that try to “cancel” personalities. In his words, flaws and humor are sometimes blown out of proportion due to not being born in a “woke culture,” he said in response to Toast’s situation.

Among Us streamer Disguised Toast also responded to the series of tweets in a TwitLonger, where he directly responded to the accusations by clarifying what his sense of humor means, especially off-camera. Sometimes, jokes are taken out of context, especially in the event of Twitch clips, leading to misunderstanding of the meaning behind certain humor.

For example, regarding Toast’s ban due to an f-slur, hearing that Toast laughed at the f-slur during a stream could be reacted to differently than knowing Toast was laughing at an enraged opponent that he got a kill off of, resulting in Toast being called the f-slur out of saltiness. Context is important, Toast explains throughout his TwitLonger, and Hope seems to either be grasping at straws or taking jokes out of context, he says.
